There were 4,092 pedestrian fatalities in 2009, a number which has trended generally downward since 1994.
The article says it adds up to $2.7 billion worth of cams can only cut it in half? Assuming 12 million cars sold in 2014, this is $2250/car. Nuts.
Some things for safety make sense, like ABS, crush zones, maybe even airbags. But back up cams? How about a little personal responsibility?
Or maybe proximity detectors that just stop the car from moving if anything is behind it?
How about loud horns, beepers and sirens when reverse is engaged.
Or just eliminate reverse gears.
